    Mathematics, Divinity and the Bible

    OK, for one, I posted a standard colophon warning as it's seen in texts belong to priests in Mesopotamia, in my thread on flood terms, well over a month ago I even posted the paper it's discussed in, ( In this thread as well ) I don't recall seeing anything about " hallucinogenic drugs " being...

    Hey, at least someone's paying attention :) I'm assuming you aren't attempting to ignore some of the groundwork I put down for this discussion already, in this thread Flood terminologies in the antiquities or did you miss that one ?

    laughable claim at best, I call your bluff once again You seem to think I don't know anything about mathematics ? Why don't you pop up in this thread and leave some snarky comments, professor Flood terminologies in the antiquities

    Mmmm, I would say more that these are ( some ) of the mathematical tools used by people that inhabited the offices that were associated with " divinity ", but I wouldn't say that's all there is, not by far Now, had anyone bothered to post the wiki link for " divinity " along with the page on "...

    So, back at it Let me start by examining a rather odd phenomenon I've noticed in this thread People seem to really really want me to read that Wikipedia page on " numerology " Now, ....lets forget about the fact that Wikipedia is not a great source for in-depth information,.....and let's also...

    Ok, so this is why I did this yesterday, but to be honest I didn't really expect anyone to catch it, so here it is: That isn't a capital sigma Σ on the screenshot of the text of Revelation 13:18, it's a lowercase Xi ( ξ ) The nominative form ( nomen sacrum ) of the word " Christ " doesn't use...

    Good, very good, no we haven't discussed this yet, but since the concept of a " lord " is quite rigorously defined, at least in Mesopotamian texts / traditions, it's going to come up and will also help shed some light on a few things, imo OK, need sleep , see you tomorrow

    Mathematics, Divinity and the Bible

    Ok, I gotta get some sleep, but wanted to make a response to your post, which is well thought out and deserves a well thought response Right, there's no objective definition of divinity we can just look up in a Sumerian or Akkadian text that just succinctly states it in plain English: "...

    Now, just a heads up, I purposely wove a rather deceitful untruth into my post, I want to see if you're fact checking my posts too Let me know if you spot it

    I guess a good place to go from here is triangular figurate numbers, since people be demanding math and shizz The reason ? There are multiple reasons why we should. One would be that a formula for the generation of triangular figurate numbers has been found in texts on Computus Computus...

    Mathematics, Divinity and the Bible

    Yup, that first bit mentions the " Sumerian Kings List ", something I'm familiar with ( although not intimately like I am with other texts ) The origin of the finger / hand / body measures is best seen, imo, in things like Naram-Sin's mathematical conventions, see bottom right of this page (...

    look, I'm not trying to be rude here, but you are displaying a rather bad grasp of the fact that whether it's 3 or 50 trillion digits, they are all approximations all of them are " wrong ", no matter accurate, because it's impossible to calculate pi to 100% precision That's a fact, mam And...

    Good grief, I'd hoped people could read along, so now I will repeat exactly what I've already repeated at least once There is no ancient equivalent to the modern Oxford English dictionary Things have to be defined in context, and the only way that happens is with a comprehensive view of the...

    gee, really ? So, forget the isomorphism between Hieratic and the languages used to write the Bible ? And forget the literary determinant of the " finger / horn ' and it's direct connection to the astrometry of the priests, because why would we invoke mathematical astronomy and astrometry...
